Chapter 5: Counting the spoils and practicing external skills
It was past noon when Gu Xia woke up.
He counted the loot from last night, including more than twenty taels of silver, two secret books, and a land deed.
If the deed of the Li family's house in this field can be resold, it can be exchanged for at least twenty or thirty taels.
Based on the house prices in previous lives, one tael of silver was equivalent to about thirty thousand.
Of course, the conversion relationship cannot be simply and roughly multiplied like this. After all, the abundance of materials is different, and the housing here is far from as fierce as the previous life.
If calculated based on grain prices, the purchasing power of one tael of silver is similar to one or two thousand yuan in his previous life.
But the land deed cannot be sold, otherwise if someone investigates, Gu Xia will be found guilty of murder and robbery.
"A piece of waste paper."
Gu Xia opened the two martial arts secret books again.
The "Eagle Claw" records a claw skill, which is similar to the iron sand palm training method in the previous life. Hitting iron sand to hone your fingers can be practiced in two or three years.
After mastering it, the hands will be like the claws of a 𫛭carving. Not only the nails are extremely sharp, but also the finger strength is amazing, and bones can be broken like clay.
"Iron Bark Kung" is similar. It is a hard Qigong. To put it simply, you need to practice being beaten, put into a special exercise posture and then hit hard objects with various parts of the body, or ask someone to hit various places with wooden sticks.
After two or three years, the skin will be like old leather, and it will not be injured by a knife or broken by a sword.
"It's all a trick to fool fools."
Last night, Gu Xia grabbed a hardwood chair that weighed 20 to 30 pounds and beat Tian Li, who had practiced these two martial arts, until his bones were broken and his tendons were broken. He felt quite disdainful.
Then he turned to the last page.
It says: This skill must be practiced with the secret ointment, otherwise it will be the same as a juggler.
There is also a prescription at the back: scaly bones, large insect teeth, luminous sand...
Gu Xia took out the unknown medicine bottle he had found before. Inside was some black oil ointment that was as pungent as asphalt, similar to what was described in the book.
"How about giving it a try? There is no loss anyway..."
Just do it. About an hour later, Gu Xia came back with a basin of iron sand from outside.
He applied the practice ointment on his hands, stood up in a horse stance, made his hands like eagle claws, and poked and thrust into the iron sand basin.
"1, 2, 3..."
"20, 21... Phew... it hurts... 22..."
The practice of Qigong should be done step by step, so for beginners to practice Eagle Claw, 30 thrusts at a time, 5 times a day is enough, and the number of times can be increased when the endurance capacity increases.
The book records that when you practice it, you can do it without stopping, and you can hit the iron sand with your hands for more than an hour.
However, Gu Xia, who had thin skin and tender flesh, felt burning pain in her fingers after only 20 strokes.
After barely finishing 30 blows, he took his hands out immediately. He didn't wash his hands. The secret book said that he should keep the ointment on his hands for half an hour.
Gu Xia looked at his hot and tingling fingers, and suddenly a slight coolness came over him, relieving his pain.
"This ointment is really effective...at least it can relieve pain..."
Then Gu Xia noticed some heat in his Dantian, and a weak warm current slowly flowed to his fingertips.
He guessed that the remaining mysterious energy in his Dantian was strengthening his fingers.
"It turns out that Xuan Li has such wonderful uses!"
Gu Xia didn't know that he had inadvertently triggered the next step in Xuanwu cultivation, Xuanli body forging.
"By the way, there is still some elixir left!"
He took out the remaining half of the pot of alchemy water and drank heavily, and at the same time asked Ai Xingchen to control the gathered profound energy.
Two hours later.
Gu Xia sat cross-legged on the bed, opened her eyes, and took a long breath.
"call!"
This breath is full of energy, like an old cow.
Gu Xia has digested the entire Kaiping Pill, and under the precise control of the AI, he successfully opened a second acupoint - the Xiaohai point at the elbow.
In addition, the calculation time of the development process of other acupoints on the entire small intestine meridian of Taiyang has been shortened by 100 days.
If he opens 3 to 4 more acupoints, he can use AI to quickly calculate the acupoint opening method on the Taiyang Meridian of the Hand. Unfortunately, the third acupoint in his Xuan Gong secret book is the Yongquan point of Zushaoyin, and he There is no more profound energy.
However, the biggest gain for Gu Xia from opening the pill was not the two acupoints, but the enhancement of his physique and strength.
Gu Xia was born weak and thin, but this Kaikai Pill boosted his physical strength, energy and blood beyond ordinary people. In other words, it laid the foundation for him to practice martial arts.
He looked in the mirror and saw that his whole body was slightly swelled than two days ago, and he had more masculine qualities. He finally no longer looked like a sour scholar.
Gu Xia looked at the book box in the corner of the room again. It was a solid wood box and weighed about a hundred kilograms including the books inside.
He walked over and raised it with his left hand.
"Um!"
Gu Xia easily lifted the book box with one hand. He could not do it in the past and had to hold it with both hands.
After Gu Xia digested the entire Kaikai Dan, his energy more than doubled, and he opened the Xiaohai acupoint. Each acupoint opened would strengthen his body accordingly, the Tinggong acupoint enhanced his hearing, and the Xiaohai acupoint enhanced the strength of his arms. .
His single-arm strength now weighs more than a hundred and dozens of kilograms, which is beyond that of an ordinary strong man.
"Keep practicing! Keep practicing!" Gu Xia was filled with enthusiasm after seeing such a significant change in herself in just one day.
…
Half a month later.
At Qingping Tea House, a man in simple Tsing Yi sat at the window seat on the second floor, eating and watching the geishas playing and singing in the hall.
It's Gu Xia. Normally he would not come to the second floor alone, but now he has a net worth of more than 60 taels. It doesn't hurt to spend some money, as long as he doesn't order special services.
This time Tian Li's body was discovered, but the government found no clues.
Gu Xia has been practicing Eagle Claw Kung Fu at home and has now achieved some success. He has proved that the two secret books are not fake.
Gu Xia grabbed a walnut from the fruit plate, and with his hands like eagle claws, he pinched it with four fingers, and with a click, the walnut that ordinary people would need to use a door clamp to crack.
"That Tian Li has two secret books, why can't he beat me? He has practiced the Iron Skin Kung Fu and Eagle Claw to perfection, so I can't beat him even if I sneak attack him."
Gu Xia ate the walnut in confusion.
He didn't know that Tian Li had no money to make secret ointment to take care of his sick mother.
This year, he finally had some spare money to make ointment, but it was cheap for Gu Xia before he used it.
Moreover, Tian Li was injured because his muscles and bones were hit by a hardwood chair weighing dozens of kilograms. It was a blunt weapon, and the Iron Skin Kung Fu that only practiced the skin could not defend against it.
Tian Li did not open up the elixir to strengthen his body, and he did not have the mysterious power spreading in the elixir field to accelerate his practice.
Gu Xia also didn't know that it would take at least half a year for ordinary people to practice his Eagle Claw Kung Fu to achieve the same effect.
In confusion, he suddenly saw a young man walking up to the second floor.
Gu Xia immediately became alert, and that person was Zhao Wenjun he was looking for.
"Hey! Mr. Zhao, do you want to play a game today?"
"Forget it! I don't feel like playing chess recently!" Zhao Wenjun sat down with a look of despair.
Gu Xia: "What happened?"
Zhao Wenjun put his feet on the table and sighed: "It's not my elder brother! I've been like a rat crossing the street these days, and everyone has to criticize me."
Gu Xia deliberately asked: "Didn't your elder brother bring back two beautiful junior sisters? Maybe it's for you?"
Zhao Wenjun shook his head: "How is it possible? Miss Wen and Miss Xie are from two different worlds than me!"
"Oh? Who are they?" Gu Xia asked casually.
Zhao Wenjun: "Disciples of famous and upright sects."
"Then, will they come here again?" Gu Xia asked the purpose of coming here today.
Zhao Wenjun: "They will leave with my eldest brother tomorrow, what! You still want to win another twenty taels?"
Gu Xia: "No, I have some questions for Miss Wen, and if possible, I want to buy a few of the Kai Kai Dan..."
Zhao Wenjun: "What do you want the Kai Kai Dan for?"
"To strengthen the body..." Out of caution, Gu Xia did not say that he had opened his mind.
Zhao Wenjun: "Don't think about it, it is said that the medicinal materials for refining Kai Kai Dan are thousands of taels, and Kai Kai Dan cannot be exchanged for silver, and this young master has never used it."
"So expensive!" Gu Xia was shocked, it seems that the way to buy medicine is cut off.
He: "I still want to meet Miss Wen Qiu. I have some questions about martial arts to ask?"
"You still want to learn martial arts?" Zhao Wenjun shook his head: "You are too old! Besides, you are poor in literature and rich in martial arts. Learning Xuan Gong costs countless silver. Our Zhao family can only support my brother to learn Xuan Gong.
I suggest you sell the secret book Miss Wen Qiu gave you, exchange some silver, marry a wife and live a stable life."
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Zhao. I'll take my leave first." Gu Xia said nothing more and got up and left.
"Fantasy!" Zhao Wenjun couldn't help shaking his head.
